ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Mabe Fratti - "Sentir que no sabes"

Mabe Fratti is chasing something. It seems to be made of sound but it persistently evades clarity. Each record she makes shimmers with her curiosity. Sentir Que No Sabes is one of her most direct, but it is no less invested in experimenting and rerouting the conduits of her music.

ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Parsnip - "Behold"

Pop music that’s unafraid to be messy, frayed around the edges, and even a tinge dissonant scratches a very particular kind of itch. On Behold, Melbourne’s Parsnip fits this bill quite satisfyingly, never relying on the gritty texture of lo-fi production or the posturing of a scuzzy garage revival band.

ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Fake Fruit - "Mucho Mistrust"

They set the bar high with their 2021 self-titled debut and, to nobody’s surprise, they’ve cleared that bar. The new record sounds like a more organic whole from a band who has grown together, feeding each other’s strengths and challenging themselves to be more.

Winter - " .​.​.​And She's Still Listening" | Album Review

Winter claims the lyrics within ...and she's still listening are written from a perspective of a female character that she considers an “extension of her,” an exploratory writing process that could be seen as a unique tool to translate a continued healing journey from the subconscious. Winter leaves listeners to sink into honest emotion.

Radiator Hospital - "Watching A Fire" | Album Review

Radiator Hospital - "Watching A Fire" | Album Review

This record served as the fourth quarter follow-up, a little "something extra," to the band's latest album, Can't Make Any Promises, which was released in March of 2023. Watching a Fire has more of the band's trademark homespun warmth and lo-fi charm, where sweet pop rock tunes coexist with more solemn introspective moments.

ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Lilacs & Champagne - "Fantasy World"

The music in question is, well, difficult to describe in typical genre buzzwords, though many have tried. Neither “psychedelic” nor “trip-hop” do much of any justice to the twosome’s defiant sound. Then again, “sound collage” doesn’t help much either because even that movement tends to focus more on the process than the end-product.
